Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5242971, member: 628"] Many people wouldn’t have guessed that, and it was why so many were slow to recognize how deeply the program has stagnated. JB realized that as long as he made the occasional Sweet 16 that he could be deemed successful and keep the heat off. Hence his shift to declare that the tourney was the only thing that mattered. #11 seed to an improbable F4. Plus-#8 seeds to two S16s. Needless to say, those 2 and 4 game runs masked how mediocre we were in the regular season. I mean, SU hasn’t finished more than 2 games above .500 in conference in TEN years. In our last 20 years in the Big East prior to that we finished 3 games or more over .500 in conference SEVENTEEN times. We haven’t been ranked, at all, during any week of the season, since December 9th, 2019… almost FIVE years ago. And we haven’t finished ranked since 2014. It has been a longgggg time since SU was a relevant participant in the regular season. [/QUOTE]
